The statement is true.
Problems are often different kinds of obstacles that all people experience at various times in their lives. How you approach the problem can minimize or maximize its impacts.
In this context, trying to understand a problem through another approach can help in the search for a solution.
For example, if you have a problem with weight loss and you look at it in a pessimistic way, without any apetite, this problem will persist with you. But if you face it differently, accepting your body as something sacred or taking a diet, this problem will be minimized in your mind.
